How it works

Three steps. Done.

No account. No setup. Two ways to import — paste the syllabus text or use your Penn State Canvas iCal URL.

📋

Grab your Penn State Canvas content

Log into Canvas at psu.instructure.com with your Penn State Access Account. Copy the syllabus text from your course page, or go to Calendar → "Calendar Feed" in the lower right to copy your iCal URL.

Paste and parse

Drop the syllabus text or iCal URL into SyllabusAI. Every exam, assignment, quiz, and due date gets pulled out and tagged in seconds.

📅

Export to Google Calendar

Click "Open in Google Calendar" and every event lands where it should. Or download a .ics file to import yourself.

Two ways to import

Pick whichever takes less effort.

Both paths end up at the same place — your Penn State Canvas deadlines in Google Calendar.

📄 Paste syllabus text

Open your course at psu.instructure.com, go to the Syllabus tab, select all and copy. Paste it into SyllabusAI. Works with table-format and narrative-format syllabi.

🔗 Use Canvas iCal URL

In psu.instructure.com, open Calendar. Look in the lower-right corner of any Calendar view (Month, Week, or Agenda) — you'll see a "Calendar Feed" link. Copy that ICS URL and paste it here.

FAQ

Penn State Canvas + Google Calendar questions.

Straight answers. No fluff.

Does this work with Penn State's Canvas at psu.instructure.com?

Yes. Two ways: paste the syllabus text you copied out of psu.instructure.com, or grab your Canvas iCal feed URL from the Calendar section and paste that instead. Either path gets every event into Google Calendar.

I'm a Penn State World Campus student — does this work for online courses too?

Yes. World Campus courses run on the same Canvas instance at psu.instructure.com. SyllabusAI handles both on-campus and World Campus course syllabi and iCal feeds identically — every semester deadline imports into Google Calendar.

Where do I find my Canvas calendar feed URL?

In Canvas, go to Calendar. In the lower-right of any Calendar view (Month, Week, or Agenda), you'll see a "Calendar Feed" link. Click it and copy the ICS URL. Paste that URL into SyllabusAI.

Will this import recurring assignments from Canvas?

Yes. When you use the iCal feed URL, recurring events from Canvas import as individual dated events in Google Calendar so each due date shows up separately — not buried in a repeating pattern.

Is this free?

Yes — free to start, no credit card. The free plan includes 3 syllabus parses, 5 Google Calendar syncs, and 25 AI study queries every rolling 30 days, which covers a typical semester setup. Power users can upgrade to Pro at $6.99/month for unlimited parsing and syncs.

Will this mess up my existing Google Calendar?

No. You get a separate .ics file or a new Google Calendar link. Your existing events stay exactly where they are.

Is my Canvas syllabus stored anywhere?

No. Your syllabus text is processed to extract dates and events, then discarded. We don't store, log, or sell your content.
